Licensing methods

There are two licensing methods for Axxon One:

1. License file only.
   

   The license file contains data on basic hardware configuration (motherboard, processor, hard disk, video adapter, RAM and network card) of all Servers. If you change any 2 of the basic hardware components, your license will be invalid. For example, this is the case when you change both CPU and motherboard. However, changing a graphics card or upgrading RAM will not affect the license.

   This is why when working with Axxon One you should bear in mind the following:

   1. The activation request should be sent from the computer that will host the Axxon One Server.
   2. You can upgrade your license only if you retain the initial basic hardware configuration of all the Servers.
   3. It is not possible to transfer a license from one computer to another.
2. License file + Guardant dongle.
   

   This method allows replacing server hardware and transferring the license to another computer. To activate Axxon One via this method, contact AxxonSoft to receive a license file and Guardant dongle.
   If you already have a Guardant dongle, you can perform activation yourself. To do so, connect the Guardant dongle to the computer that you wish to activate and perform the standard activation steps.
